TJ, thanks for your answer. All this is understood, though that was
not my issue.
If you have a look at the two examples I have given, you will see that
they situations are:
1. A 5 min bar on the chart is 'updated' in steps, even though the bar
replay interval step is set to 5 mins. Unless I misunderstand you
answer, there should be no situation where this can happen.
2. Two five minutes bars are added to the chart, even though only 1
(!) five min interval step ahead is given in the bar replay time.
As for the crash issue, understood. I will correct that.
